My fondest memory of the band was in college. I was a freshman at LSU in Baton Rouge, La. and decided to go to the Lesbian Gay Student Organization. It was there that I saw the Life and times of Harvey Milk and saw a clip of the band marching down Market St. I remember saying to myself that I HAVE to be in that band!!! After I graduated from college, I contacted Doug Litwin who told me I was very welcome to play with the band that summer. For the first time in my life I felt I belonged in band and didn’t feel quite so bitter about being the ‘band gay man’ I had been called throughout my high school years in music. And the rest….well, the rest in history.
